Yeah, good point. I should mention "securing the cockpit for
aerobatic maneuvers" in the lesson plan/checklist.


I watched a video once of some Blue Angels practicing when a team
member had planted a sandwich in the cockpit of one of the other
planes. The pilot executed a roll and you could plainly see the
sandwich floating across the cockpit. Pretty funny but I don't think
I'd want that happening to me while performing formation aerobatics.


It's a PITA. Coins, nutas and bolts, dirt from the carpets and your shoes.
There's a lot to be said for ding them in open cockpit airplanes, You can
clean them out first roll anyway!
